Peter Sculthorpe’s “Sydney Singing”

"The magical photography by Adam Sebire of Sydney’s visual icons is matched by thematic, orchestral, and solo sounds which do not attempt to paint the visuals in sound...  Sebire’s inspired filming of Sydney, both present and historical, provides a visual singing of Sydney.  Especially magical were the scenes of 18th and 19th century paintings superimposed on the Opera House and Circular Quay locations."
